The Pressure's On Terry Semel
from the no-one-likes-him dept
As everyone waits to see what Yahoo's earnings are like today, it sounds like analysts can't wait to tear apart Terry Semel. It seems a bit quick to be judging his performance. He's only been in the job a few months. From what I've seen, it looks like he's been exploring different ways to make revenue, but doesn't want to jump too quickly and make a horribly bad decision. That seems pretty smart (assuming that eventually they do figure out ways to add revenue). It's amazing that analysts expect a miracle solution to have suddenly appeared.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
